# Facebook: Manually upload products via feed

{% hint style="info" %}
After successfully creating the Product Feed, we will proceed to upload the products to your Catalog. We have two methods to upload to your Catalog.
{% endhint %}

### Manual Method : 

With this method, you won't need to log in to Facebook on our app. We will provide you with a CSV file, and then you can manually upload this file through Facebook's commerce manager to add the products.

The steps to create the Feed will be similar to the automated method. Here, I will guide you on adding products using our CSV file on Facebook's Commerce Manager.

**Step 1:** Copy the CSV file URL from the Feed management screen of our app.

**Step 2**: Access Meta's Commerce Manager.&#x20;

Click **All Tools** (the three horizontal lines/burger menu).

Select **Commerce Manager** from the list (you might find it under **Sell products and services**).

**Step 3**: Select the Catalog where you want to add products.

**Select Your Shop/Catalog:** Once in Commerce Manager, use the dropdown menu in the top-left to switch between different commerce accounts or click on a specific catalog to manage it.&#x20;

* Feed Name
* Default currency
* Data feed schedule:  Set a scheduled upload to keep your catalog updated automatically.

{% hint style="info" %}
:clap::clap::clap:You have now completed adding products using our file. Please wait for Facebook to update the product information. Once the update is complete, you can check the results under Catalog -> Items. :tada::tada::tada:
{% endhint %}

Once connected, you can also find your products in **Commerce Manager,** like this, for example:

It's highly necessary. This ensures the synchronization of Product IDs between the events we send in the Pixel and the Product IDs in the Product Feed. If you use a different app to create the Pixel or Feed, we cannot guarantee that consistency.

It's generally recommended to update your Facebook Product Feed regularly, especially when there are changes to your product inventory, prices, or product details.
